"Some people call him Booger and others call him Baby Sapp, but soon Anthony McFarland hopes to be referred to as one of the highest paid defensive tackles in the NFL. McFarland, who is in the final year of his original rookie contract, recently told the Tampa Tribune he is optimistic he will report to training camp July 18 with a new deal.

McFarland
McFarland missed six games last season because of a broken forearm and a fractured foot, but he continued to show people that he's a force to be reckoned with. In fact, some people feel that he's already better than Warren Sapp, who is also in his walk year. What is troublesome for the Bucs is that in order to keep McFarland they'll have to pay him such a great sum of money that it prohibits them from keeping both interior linemen on the roster."

Could you picture Sapp on the Phins' already great defense?

McFarland signed a 5-year extension in August. So that is set in stone. Sapp will either be franchised ($7 million plus) or he'll get a big deal from someone. I'm not sure he'd sign in Miami after he made disparaging remarks about the team when asked if Miami was a possible destination next year.

Honestly I don't want him. I think he's an overrated player who's best days are 3 years behind him. And he's an idiot to boot.
